Short-Term Running Goals:
Sub 40:00 10K- 2:59 Marathon
- 1:25 Half Marathon
- 18:30 5K
Long-Term Running Goals: Maintain my health and continuously seek to improve my fitness. Maybe someday get under 3:00 for marathon. More importantly, I'd like to figure out what my maximum ability is and reach that.
I'd also like to find the right balance in life and use running to enhance and improve myself.
Personal: Dad of three (welcome Charlotte Dani on 8/10/20) awesome kids and stepdad to three almost as awesome as my own kids.
I have a brown dog named Stella, and three cats - Catty, Tortie, and Esperanza.
(old lines that were a little out of date but couldn't quite bring myself to removing them completely:) Also, have one wonderful brown dog named Sammy and just added a grey tiger cat (Catty) whose life started out rough but now has a better home.
I've recently started another blog so I can easily add lots of pictures and so other non-FRB users can leave comments:
Forward Progress!
Also, for 2012 I started a blog to write down each day one thing that I am grateful for
Grateful Blog
Love living in Florida but love to travel and see the country and rest of the world.

mi,
01:36,
08:30 pace (I'm the one in the green top, Cynthia to my left and Dan to my right)
Some friends of mine were going to run in Brooksville area on a route I had never run before (I usually just go up and down the Suncoast trail when I say I'm going to Brooksville). And even though I ran a race on Saturday I didn't want to pass up this opportunity to run with some friends at a new place.
Ran with Dan, Melanie, Cynthia, Marcia, Andrea, and Scott. We all
started out together from near the library. Ran on the rolling country
roads. First mile was easy pace, then pace picked up the second mile. I
stayed back with Cynthia since she wanted to average around an 8:30. A
little humid at first, it seemed to get nicer as the run continued.
Finished up with a 1.3 mile loop around a very picturesque lake.
Enjoyed some coffee, muffins, and zuchini bread and enjoyed the company
of a dog that wandered by for some treats. Thanks to Melanie for
driving us. Legs felt decent after yesterday's race, I think today's
run was what I needed.

| It was raining and my legs were tired from the weekend. I felt a little odd not going for my Monday morning run, but by Tuesday I would realize it was ok. | | Add Comment |

Went to the Y this morning to run with the group. No intervals today, just a straight
through run. I was glad I didn't run yesterday since my legs were
still a little tired today from the weekend. Ran with Joe for the first
4 miles until he went ahead. Warm and windy this morning. If it wasn't for the windy part it would have felt pretty oppressive.

Today's spin class was a ton of sprints and no hills, challenging
in a different way, fun class as usual. Came home and quickly did 3
mile run out and back to water fountain before starting the day.

Didn't have an exact plan but decided I should do something. Warmed up with about 3 miles easy.
Plan I came up with was to do 1 mile at just under 7:00, run easy for a
mile and see if I could then do 3 miles at sub-6:30. The first part
went well, but the three fast miles were good but not quite there -
6:38, 6:39, 6:32. I was kind of wondering to myself how I was able to do 3.1 miles at a 6:05 pace just this past Saturday, but I guess it is a completely different mentality. It's one of the reasons for racing - to see what you can really pull out when you reach inside.
With the heat (close to 80 degrees with typical Florida summer humidity) and feeling a little worn down it was a
good effort and probably what I needed, so I'll call this run a
success!

Was able to get moving a little bit earlier than usual. Good run at a medium pace and distance.

08:27 pace Did the Longleaf to Starkey and Back route.
Ran with Joe, Keith, Victoria, Jammie, Cynthia and a few others.
Quick stop at Diane's, then to the park. Ran with Jamie for about two
miles, great to see her running. Heading back to Longleaf with Joe and
did a pretty steady pickup for the return trip. Last two miles in 6:22
and 6:19
